Ten million to watch the last ever episode of Broadchurch – Security is so tight…

Viewers of ITV hit drama Broadchurch are set to find out who raped Trish Winterman tonight as the third and probably final series draws to a close. Ten million are expected to tune in.

Security is so tight about the identity of the rapist that writer Chris Chibnall has not even told his family who committed the crime. But after 24 gripping episodes, Mr Chibnall – who is set to write Doctor Who next – told fans to expect a ‘satisfying’ conclusion with ‘some surprises’.

He told The Sunday Times: ‘Sitting down to write the final episode was very emotional and I admit I actually had a bit of a weep doing it. There is pressure with every script, but I am really proud of the final episode.’
